Gucci High Heels

From the Horsebit hardware drawn in 1953 to the logo-heavy pumps of the Alessandro Michele era, Gucci heels have always carried the Florentine house's equestrian signature. JoliCloset lists more than 300 pairs of pre-owned Gucci heels — the second-largest shoe sub-category in our Gucci catalog after sneakers.

Styles to know

The Marmont with its gold GG buckle is the most-searched style — produced as a classic pump, slingback and mule. The Horsebit pump features the metal bit on a pointed-toe silhouette, often in patent leather or suede. The Sylvie family carries the green-red-green Web stripe across a strap. Bamboo-heel pumps (a polished real-bamboo heel) appear seasonally, a direct echo of the 1947 Bamboo bag. A few Dionysus pumps with the tiger-head closure round out the selection.

Materials and sizing

Smooth calfskin, patent leather, suede, velvet, GG Supreme monogrammed canvas and — more rarely — python or crocodile, depending on the season. Heel heights run from a 5.5 cm kitten to a 10 cm stiletto. Sizes mostly cover EU 35 to 41, with occasional 34 and 42. Always check the insole (hot-stamped "Gucci Made in Italy") and the leather outsole, which should keep its original grain on lightly worn pairs.

Resale value

The Marmont retails around €790 new in boutique. On JoliCloset, well-kept pairs trade between €220 and €380 — up to 60% below retail. Vintage Tom Ford or Frida Giannini pumps start at €60 and reach €280 for rare colorways. Bamboo-heel and exotic editions hold their value best, with a typical band of €450-650. For an alternative, Gucci sandals and mules often offer a better price-condition ratio for summer.

Authenticating a pair

Checks: a clean "Gucci Made in Italy" insole hot-stamp, a six-digit style code plus size, even stitching, a perfectly aligned GG logo or Web stripe, and a metal buckle engraved with a fine line (never plastic-relief). Every pair on JoliCloset is reviewed by our authentication team before going live. Selling your Gucci heels? List them: turnover is fast on Marmont 36 to 39 and on patent-leather Horsebit pumps.
